You’re Invited to a Future Full of Hope
The priority and the value we place on our relationships with one another are the core of who we are at Ascension. As a faith community our relationships extend well beyond the boundaries of our Sunday worship and the space in which we gather.

In that spirit, we are grateful to introduce a new ministry to our parish: A Future Full of Hope. Continue reading…
